Closure

It wasn't even an anticlimax. Felt like a non-event.

I was in the middle of a conference call, absent-mindedly refreshing my google homepage, and there it was - the Status Update mail from Columbia. Exactly 8 weeks to the day.

As expected (in those moments when i dared to think realistically), it was a DING without an interview.

Four hours later, it finally sunk in on the train ride home.

"How the fuck could they not even invite me for an interview?"
"If only I'd applied for ED or RD"

Anyway, it's done, and I can move on.

sorry to hear that, but you do have an excellent alternative in hand. NYC is anyway yours to have ;)

Thanks everyone. I'm actually relieved that the whole process is over :-). I'm sure I'll have a blast at Stern.

Hey Desi Gal

Stern has one of top 12 professors housed in, Aswath Damodaran -- not sure if he resigned and got into full time book writing. You'll enjoy the experience. I guess pursuing MBA is more personal than Institutional. Good luck with Stern.
